10. MULCHING MOWING TIPS

While mulching, your new mower is designed

to cut the grass clippings into small pieces

and distribute them back into the lawn.

Under normal conditions, the mulched grass

will biodegrade quickly to provide nutrients

to the lawn. Please review the following

recommendations for optimum mulching

performance.

1) Avoid mowing when the grass is wet from

rain or dew. Wet grass may form clumps

which interfere with the mulching action

and reduce runtime. The best time to mow

grass is in the late afternoon when the

grass is dry and the newly cut area will not

be exposed to direct sunlight.

2) For best mulching performance, set the

cutting height to remove about one third

of the grass blade length, ideally no more

than 1.5” (38mm) at one time. If the lawn is

overgrown, it may be necessary to increase

the cut height to reduce the pushing effort

and prevent overloading the motor. For

extremely heavy mulching, it is advisable

to ﬁrst cut at a high cut height setting,

and then re-cut to the ﬁnal cut height.

Otherwise, make narrower cuts and mow

slowly.

3) For best performance, keep the mower

housing free of built-up grass. From time to

time turn off mower and wait for the blade

to come to a complete stop. Then unplug

the safety key and turn mower on its side.

Using an object such as a stick, wipe out

any accumulation of grass in the blade

area. Be careful of the sharp edges of the

blade. Clean often in wet, new grass, and

always after every use.

4) Certain types of grass or grass conditions

may require that an area be mulched a

second time to fully disperse the grass

throughout the lawn. If cutting a second

time, it is advisable to cut perpendicular

(across) the ﬁrst cut pattern. DO NOT

CHANGE CUT PATTERN IN ANY WAY THAT

WOULD CAUSE MOWING DOWN AHILL.

5) Change your cutting pattern from week to

week. This will help prevent matting and

graining of the lawn.

procedures regularly. Check for obvious

defects such as a loose, dislodged or a

damaged blade, loose ﬁttings, and worn

or damaged components. Check that the

covers and guards are all undamaged and

are correctly attached to mower. Carry out

any necessary maintenance or repairs before

operating mower. If the mower should

happen to fail despite regular maintenance,

please call our customer helpline for advice ,

BLADE SHARPENING

KEEP BLADE SHARP FOR BEST MOWER

PERFORMANCE. A DULL BLADE DOES NOT

CUT GRASS CLEANLY OR MULCH PROPERLY.

WEAR PROPER EYE PROTECTION WHILE

REMOVING, SHARPENING, AND INSTALLING

BLADE. ENSURE THAT SAFETY KEY IS

REMOVED.

Sharpening the blade twice during a mowing

season is usually sufﬁcient under normal

circumstances. Sand causes the blade to dull

quickly. If your lawn has sandy soil, more

frequent sharpening may be required.

REPLACE BENT OR DAMAGED BLADE

IMMEDIATELY.

WHEN SHARPENING THE BLADE:

1. Make sure blade remains balanced.

2. Sharpen blade at the original cutting angle.

3. Sharpen cutting edges on both ends of

blade, removing equal amounts of material

from both ends.

TO SHARPEN BLADE IN A VISE (See M)

1. Be sure the switch lever is released, the

blade has stopped and the safety key

removed before removing the blade.

2. Remove blade from mower. See

instructions for removing and attaching

blade.

3. Secure blade M-1 in a vise M-2.

4. Wear safety glasses and gloves and be

careful not to cut yourself.

5. Carefully ﬁle the cutting edges of the blade

with a ﬁne tooth ﬁle M-3 or sharpening

stone.

6. Check balance of blade. See instructions for

blade balancing.

7. Replace blade on mower and tighten

securely. Refer to instructions below.

BLADE BALANCING (See N)

Check balance of blade by placing center

hole in blade N-1 over a nail or screwdriver

shank N-2, clamped horizontally in a vise N-3.

If either end of the blade rotates downward,

ﬁle that end. Blade is properly balanced when

neither end drops.

BLADE MAINTENANCE (See O1, O2)

Renew your metal blade after 50 hours

mowing or 2 years, which ever is the sooner-

regardless of condition.

Follow these procedures to remove and

replace the blade. You will need garden gloves

(not provided) and a spanner wrench (not

provided) to remove the blade. Hold the blade

(17) and unscrew the blade bolt (16) counter-

clockwise using a spanner wrench, and then

remove blade.

To re-assemble, position the blade (17) with

the cutting edges towards the ground. Then

securely tighten the blade bolt (16).

STORAGE: (See P1,P2)

Stop the mower and always remove the

safety key. Clean the exterior of the machine

thoroughly using a soft brush and cloth. Do

not use water, solvents or polishes. Remove

all grass and debris, especially from the

ventilation slots.

Turn the machine on its side and clean the

blade area. If grass cuttings are compacted

in the blade area, remove with a wooden or

plastic implement.

Store the mower in a dry place. Do not place

other objects on top of the mower.

To aid storage, release the handle cam lever,

and rotate or fold the upper handle forward.
